Live Media Install Walkthrough

Here are the various steps involved in installing Fedora 14 using the live media process. This excludes the entire sticky mess of downloading the appropriate ISO, properly formatting a sufficiently-sized USB key, and getting the USB key to be bootable. In this case, this was a 1-2 hour painful process I'd rather forget but felt worth mentioning as users coming into this process documented here may be quite rattled already.

Set computer to boot from USB or Optical Drive

We likely can't do much to make this easier, unfortunately. The user pain of this is worth mentioning, though.

Syslinux

The user must pick "Boot" from the Syslinux menu.

What am I going to boot into? Maybe better to brand with the version number of Fedora.

Boot (Basic Video) - what does this mean? Why would I pick this instead of boot?

Why would I pick "verify and boot" vs "boot"?

"Memory test" - why would I pick this? Is this really the most appropriate place for this option?

"Boot from local drive"... better way to word this so it's clear what it means?

The interface looks outdated, does not flow with modern design compared to other distributions

Fonts used on that screen is a legacy. It would be nice to replace it by a contemporary version.
